Radish Rainbow Salad
A bright and fresh salad featuring mixed radishes, aged cheese, and fresh basil, dressed with lemon and olive oil. The combination of thinly sliced and chunky radishes creates an interesting texture contrast.
Ingredients
- •1 lb mixed radishes
- •1 tsp Kosher salt
- •1 whole lemon
- •3 oz Piave cheese or Parmesan
- •½ cup basil leaves
- •2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- •½ tsp Flaky sea salt

Cooking Instructions
- 1.
Thinly slice half of radishes on a mandoline and place in a large bowl. Leave remaining radishes whole if small, or slice in half or into wedges if larger and place in same bowl. Season well with kosher salt and squeeze and scrunch radishes several times with your hands to work salt into flesh. Squeeze lemon halves to get 3 Tbsp. juice; save one half for zesting later. Add lemon juice to bowl and finely grate half of cheese over radishes; toss well to coat. Using a fork, crumble remaining cheese into bowl. Add basil and 2 Tbsp. oil and toss again. Taste and season with more kosher salt if needed.
